Learner drivers are limited to 80kph, indicated by an L plate displayed on the rear.
Both are allowed to drive on the Motorway.
All vehicles are expected to keep to the left (slow lane) unless overtaking.
By driving at 95kph, I'm still faster than either a P plater or an L plater would be while driving my car in the slow lane.
If I need to overtake someone, I do it at increased speed, then change back to the slow lane, as any responsible driver should.

That's a nice system. You could just put a L or P plate on and drive economically slow, and nobody would demand or even expect you to speed up. 
You could even make a green E plate in the same style, to the same effect, and not be accountable if you speed up beyond the P limit.
